Hi Franz-Josef,

We removed support for ARMv4T NOMMU a couple of years ago in
commit 2f618d5ef5dd ("ARM: remove support for NOMMU ARMv4/v5"),
in order to simplify the Kconfig CPU selection.

Adding a new platform in turn means you'll have to add that
infrastructure we skipped back then, and the dependency here
is only a very small part of that.

Do you have a public git tree with the rest of your patches?
